Abstract

Today, humans relate to others using media platforms that have successfully shown the world artists, content creators, and idols, but this phenomenon has given birth to parasocial relationships. Normal relationships are the relationships between individuals with mutual knowledge, while parasocial relationships are where one becomes obsessed with celebrities. Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships where one person devotes their time, emotion, and attention while the other party is utterly oblivious to the other’s existence (Wayne, 2023). Eren (2021) and Hartmann & Goldhorn (2011) have referred to a theory by Horton and Wohl (1956) that parasocial relationships were first identified that parasocial have a positive impact and are long-term. Meanwhile, Dibble, Hartmann, and Rosaen (2016) had a different view towards parasocial relationships: The viewing experience will be transformed into a false sense, whether short- or long-term attachments to a persona.
